The College of Business has launched the first-ever undergraduate online degree program
offered at SDSU. The Bachelor of Science in business online degree program will commence
in the fall semester of 2017.

The inaugural program is designed for students who have finished a minimum of 60 general
education and prerequisite business credits that are transferable to SDSU. Students
must take between 49 – 55 units from SDSU online program depending on their writing
proficiency.

“This program was specifically designed to serve those with work and family responsibilities
and for transfer students who may not have the ability to attend campus on a regular
basis,” said Dr. George Belch, interim dean at SDSU’s College of Business Administration.
“Upon completion, students will earn the same degree, diploma and transcript as on-campus
students which does not distinguish that the program was online.”

Online accounting, finance, information systems, management and marketing courses
will be taught by members of the College of Business faculty and selected outside
facilitators.

Courses are offered during the 16-week fall, spring and summer semesters, with each
course lasting 8-weeks. For example, this allows students taking four courses per
semester the ability to complete two courses during the first half of the term and
two courses during the second half of the term. This provides students the opportunity
to complete their degree in as few as two years or at their own pace.

The online program is currently accepting applications for the fall semester of 2017
through November 30 and will be accepting applications again during the spring semester
of 2018.
